Motorola no longer has its sight solely on Apple as they’ve now turned their attack towards Android’s top dog Samsung. Motorola’s latest ad campaign pits the Motorola RAZR HD against the Samsung Galaxy S III, with a slogan of “It’s not easy. downloading… from another galaxy.” Motorola boasts an outrageous claim of 49% faster download speeds, which I find extremely difficult to believe considering the U.S. Samsung Galaxy S III has the same Qualcomm processor and modem as the RAZR HD — not to mention 1GB more RAM.

It’s coming.

Samsung has been busy rolling out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrades this month. Following the ‘Premium Suite’ updates it has already begun issuing to the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, the Korean company has finally starting rolling out the Jelly Bean software to the Wi-Fi-only version of its Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.

I think it’s great that Sony has chosen to certify third-party Android handsets for PlayStation Mobile; the Japanese company could quite easily have made the gaming service exclusive to its own Xperia devices. And this morning it has welcomed another three HTC handsets to the PlayStation Mobile family, doubling the total number of HTC devices that are supported by the service.

Best Buy is reportedly gearing up to reduce the Samsung Galaxy S III — this year’s hottest Android-powered smartphone — to just $50 on December 16. That’s a massive reduction to the Korean company’s most successful smartphone, and it most cases it’ll get you at least $100 off its regular retail price.

Chinese electronics manufacturer Oppo has unveiled its latest smartphone today, and it’s set to give high-end Android handsets a run for their money. It’s called the Find 5, and it packs a 5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, and 2GB of RAM. And the impressive specifications don’t stop there.
